Common Questions
Q: How do I change the Frame Rate and Bit Rate in Cerevo LiveShell?
A: Using the Cerevo LiveShell dashboard with either a tablet or the web access. Navigate to the main Dashboard.
Click on Custom:
Under the Video Quality section, select and change the Average Bit Rate to match your desired bit rate for streaming. Example: 3000Kbps = 3.0Mbps (roughly)
*Setting your LiveShell to anything higher than 5500Kbps can cause issue with the RTMP Stream. We recommend for a quality 720p - 1080p stream, the bit rates be between 3500Kbps and 5500Kbps.*
Below the Average Bit Rate is the Frame Rate.
Change the Frame Rate to match the Frame Rate of your equipment. We recommend 30 fps as a standard.
